I'm not sure that we can guarantee much beyond "this seems to be XML" (I'm not sure that we should test for it being well-formed etc) or "this seems to be a zip file" (for jars, wars and ears) but just a basic check of "this is not garbage HTML" would be sufficient (and a big enhancement) for most users.
